Blogger Hop & Friday Follow 11.12.10

It's time for The Blogger Hophosted by Crazy-for-Books and Follow Friday, hosted by Parajunkee's View. They created these memes to give bloggers and readers a chance to network, support each other and find new blogs to read & enjoy.

TODAY'S QUESTION on CRAZY-FOR-BOOKS:If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?

I try to not start a series out of sequence for the same reasons that Jen mentioned in her post; I'd hate to miss out on the backstory or on important details. However, I'd be a "liar-liar-pants-on-fire" if I said that I've never done that...although in my defense, it was entirely unintentional, lol. I once read an entire series backwards. Literally, from book 4 to 3 to 2 and finally, to 1. How very Pulp Fiction of me, LOL!! Luckily, I was able to read & enjoy them out of sequence without really hurting the storyline.

TODAY'S QUESTION on PARAJUNKEE:

What is my usual monthly book budget?

In my case, the question should be what is my WEEKLY book budget? Ha! Yes, I can honestly say that I get new books nearly every week. Most of you know of our Wednesday night gatherings at Barnes & Noble so it's on a very rare night when I don't go home with a new book (such as the case with this past Wednesday).

Random comment: I swear that Hell must have gotten a cold front that night because the bitch that works at the Starbucks was actually semi-friendly to my friend Yami and NONE of us bought books that night. Miracle of all miracles, I tell ya!! LOL

Anyhoo - I don't really have a budget or limit as to what I'll spend on books. I just try to be reasonable and control myself as best I can. I will not buy anything right before pay day or if I know I'm running low on cash. I also try not to spend more than $20 or 30 at any one given point and I won't do that more than once a month. Am I making sense?!

Well kiddos, you have yourselves a SPLENDID weekend!!
